Sure it is. One of Dylan's earliest and finest performances was Bob doing
"Wade in the Water."
Dylan mastered the form (gospel music). It was apparent to a lot of us who
got SLOW TRAIN COMING and SAVED upon their release. It was even more
apparent for those of us who saw Dylan's show at the Warfield in San
Francisco, shows where he was nothing short of on fire.
I think this has more with the public's perception of what a singer should
be....as opposed to
what the singer actually is.
Not all that far off from folks who scratched their heads when Springsteen
sang of marital bliss.

"Moonlight."
